Old Rave Tunes... ***kin yeah...

JCarey70 · 2010-06-30 02:20:06

Thought I might start an 'Old Rave Tune' thread. Limit it to three tunes a post. I'll start it off with the first three that pop in to my head... Kick Squad - Champion Sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnNMgcsxQxg EON - Spice (samples from Dune and The Human League - Love Action)…

nope not really.

i like some old stuff but most sounds really bad,but this is true for most eras and genres of music and not exclusive to oldskool.

i started out in 94 but really got into it around 96.unfortunately those years were centred around happy hardcore and other ridiculously fast fun stuff.

i appreciate the old stuff but dont derive any pleasure from listening to it for the most part

I have to say in all my years on the scene i can safely say ive never come across anyone who was around then who wouldn't still at least listen never mind slag it off,it's almost as if you are trying to blank out that era and just want to be down with the cool kids in whatever music is "in vogue" at present (deep house i believe the kids are into now since minimal has taken a battering)

Each to their own and all that, obviously Old Skool in all it's forms including Happy Hardcore (1994 stuff only) is my first love but as people are well aware on here i love my present day Soulful/Funky/Deep House as well,maybe there are too many old skool threads on here but you can see how much this music means to people and i wonder will the kids of today in 15/20 years time be posting tunes on the Internet and going all misty eyed at how amazing the scene was in 2010 (cant see it );):)

i don't know Jonny, each to their own and if you love it, fine. but my view is that most of these tracks are complete pants and don't stand up to the test of time. there are some unbelievable tracks from the late 80s and early 90s which are far better than them and still do stand up . by way of example, I could play you underworld - rez and I could play about 800 other tracks from 1993. the rest would just fade away, whereas I think rez will sound great in 100 years.

i know you big upped Hardcore Uproar - Together on a previous thread. I absolutely love that track and think it does stand up to the test of time. I'm not sure how to explain how our views converge on that track (and presumably others). but most of the rest of the stuff i see posted is pure hagiography (i.e. bigging up things) and nostalgia. the music just wasn't that good

Each to their own and all that. Rez is classic no doubt about it but this is the Old Rave Tunes thread, stuff that was being belted out long before Rez was a gleam in Underworld's eye, some of which was probably the inspiration for Rez, so never dis the foundation. If you don't like Old Rave Tunes then just don't post, stop dissin... Some of these tunes might sound pants by today's standards but never forget that you wouldn't have techno as we have it today if it wasn't for some of these these fun loving entrepreneurs of very early techno that we are simply just bigging up in this thread.

Rez was great but not really that original. Listen to Fluke's Groovy Feeling which was released a year before Rez and you'll see what I mean...

i do hear it, in fact I hear about 8 underworld tracks in it (tongue, cow-girl, big mouth)

but discogs says Rez out in June 1992 (and big mouth). and fluke in 1993?

iut I do think its a decent way from fluke to the particular atmosphere of Rez. i don't really know any other track like rez. when I first heard it I thught it was chilled out. but i remember hearing it in the kitchen one night and the place wnet fcking nuts. its a bit of both really, a bit of the brain, a bit of the soul and the body.

in any event no thread de-rail.

While I do enjoy 'rave' and appreciate it for its early place and influence it had on electronic music to follow, I don't listen to much of it now as I feel it does sound somewhat dated and just not as easy on the ear... I'll throw on the odd track now and again in the car maybe for a bit of old times sake. I don't even own that many rave tunes on vinyl... Here's one that's special to me though -

N-Joi - Adrenalin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUUfrajQcr0

Although that said, would the above be more techno than rave? Suppose it's a bit of cross over from one to the other...

A lot of the tracks became very commercialised. There's still a few old rave tracks that kept their underground feeling for me. Never got sick of hearing this one

Have to agree with ya there it really stuck out from all the tunes being played in the OLYMPIC in 1993,

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=58666163&postcount=5095

I was only in the kitchen twice & once coincidentally Rez was banged out.......chap i know a long time was playing that night David mooney.

This is where it gets confusing with all this genre crap.......i would have just called it all Rave & then sub categorys of Techno, Hard Trance, Jungle, House.......
